UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit Cambodia in November to attend the 21st ASEAN Summit and East Asia Summit, a senior UN official said here Thursday.
Noeleen Heyzer, UN Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), said that the UN-ESCAP will not only continue to help ASEAN in intra-ASEAN Connectivity, but also help connect the bloc with the whole Asia-Pacific.
Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said he would also invite Ban to attend the Global-ASEAN Dialogue Forum, which will be focused on global issues such as the troubled financial system, food safety, energy security, and climate change.
Ban visited Cambodia for the first time in October, 2010.
Ouch Borith, secretary of state at Cambodia's foreign ministry, said that the upcoming visit of Ban will help further enhance relationship and cooperation between the UN and ASEAN.
Heyzer was here from Tuesday to Friday to further enhance ties between the UN and Cambodia.

Another fruitless visit. Ban KI-moon must of love the young and the oppress, that's why he's back for seconds.
Come on Ban Ki-moon! Do something spectacular!
Knock Hun Sen on the head or something so he can act right.
